Today's Thrift Store Finds
We made it to our favorite thrift store today for Half Price Saturday and I was surprised to find that we were the only ones there since last month it was packed.... maybe because it was a beautiful day today and people were just out enjoying the sun... I dunno.... but it was great for us!
Cottage Thrift is located here in Lil Hicktown in a small old house.... so it gets crowed in there pretty easily. But I love this store! The prices are already awesome... $1 for pants and shirts... $2 for dresses and coats... the toys and books and other items are really cheap too... so it's like shopping a yard sale instead of a thrift store. And all of the proceeds go to a children's charity so that makes it even better :)
Steffie came out really well... as usual... with 5 games
A Barbie nightgown, Disney Princess PJ's, 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, a pair of socks...
A few assorted small bathtub toys and 5 books....
And 2 outfits for her dolls.... for some reason the pic won't show up... but they're cute lil sleepers. A strangely nice thing happened though... I told Steffie I was going to look at the games before we left.... they are up on a very high shelf above the clothing racks so they're not easy for her to see... I have to use a coat hanger to actually pull them down from the shelf... that's how high up they are (aren't I creative???lol) .... anyways... she said "will you get me a Strawberry Shortcake game?". I told her it wasn't likely that they would have one... I've never seen a Strawberry Shortcake board game. I get in there and look up.... and there on the shelf is a Strawberry Shortcake game! I couldn't believe it! I really don't think she saw it before or she would have been excited and asked me to get it down already. So how is that for asking and receiving???
I also got some goodies for the new Grandbaby coming in March....
Two heads up car seat covers... 2 blankets... 2 sleepers... a bib... and a hat...
3 onesies.... 4 shirts.... and 3 pairs of pants
Now I have to get it all washed up :)... I didn't find anything for myself this time but that's pretty normal and I really didn't need anything anyways... I need to clean out my closet!
The final cost of our lil shopping spree??? $12 !!!

Wow! Awesome scores! And lucky Steffie to have that Strawberry Shortcake game up there for her. ;)
These are fabulous finds! Our thrift store here in S. Korea is WAY more expensive. I spent $14 and brought home far less stuff (the clothes are roughly $2.50 each, give or take a buck).
holy hannah! SCORE!!! doesn't it just make you feel like a winner when you can get deals like that. good job my friend...hugz!
My wife and I are always on the prowl for good bargains like that.We have gotten good ones but not like those.Congratulations on the jack pot.
I love shopping at thrift stores. I've not been too lucky with the board games, but I also haven't been looking.
That is pretty amazing about the Strawberry Shortcake game. I've never seen one, either. How awesome!
That is awesome! I always forget about thrift stores when I go shopping...I need to see what we have around here.
